BUT, OSSIFFER …

Efren Carrillo, a member of California's Sonoma County Board of Supervisors, was charged with misdemeanor "peeking" last year in Santa Rosa after he, returning home from a club late at night, saw his female neighbor's light on and decided to drop in on her (though he didn't even know her name). He knocked at her back patio door, carrying beers, but was dressed awkwardly, leading the woman to call 911. "In retrospect," the county supervisor told police afterward, "I should have had my pants on" (instead of just his socks and underwear). His trial was underway at press time.
